Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Workshop at High Tide Coffee San Clemente
There’s something special about fall in San Clemente , that golden coastal light, the cooler mornings, and, of course, the smell of pumpkin spice in the air. This October, we’re leaning into the cozy season with a hands-on experience you’ll remember long after the leaves change: our Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Workshop at High Tide Coffee San Clemente, happening Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at 5:30 PM.
A Cozy Evening of Coffee, Community, and Fresh-Baked Bread
We’ve always believed that good coffee and good company go hand in hand. This fall, we’re taking that idea one step further, right into the kitchen. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just love the smell of fresh bread wafting through your home, this workshop is designed to be approachable, creative, and yes, a little festive.
You’ll learn how to make your own pumpkin spice sourdough loaf from start to finish, guided by local sourdough pros who know how to keep things fun, casual, and beginner-friendly. Expect laughter, a few floury hands, and that unmistakable feeling of learning something meaningful, surrounded by community and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans (we roast them ourselves).
Enjoy Great Drinks
What’s baking without a drink in hand? Enjoy some amazing drinks from your favorite coffee shop — espresso beverages will be available for purchase! Sip your favorite High Tide Coffee creation as the dough rises, breathe in the aroma of pumpkin spice, and soak up the cozy atmosphere of our San Clemente café.
What You’ll Learn
Here’s what’s on the menu for the evening:
-
How to care for your new sourdough starter — and keep it happy long after the class ends.
-
How to mix and prep your pumpkin spice dough, using simple, wholesome ingredients.
-
Pro tips for shaping and proofing your loaf so it looks as beautiful as it tastes.
-
What to do once you’re home and ready to bake your loaf into the perfect golden crust.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills to make your own seasonal sourdough at home and a starter that’s ready to keep baking all season long.
What You’ll Take Home
Each participant will receive everything needed to keep the baking magic going:
-
A happy, mature sourdough starter
-
A proofing basket
-
A customized, hand-dyed tea towel to match your seasonal loaf

All the tools and ingredients to prep your dough during class
And don’t forget , you’ll also bring home your own loaf ready to bake once you’re back in your kitchen. Just imagine it: the comforting smell of pumpkin spice filling your home, paired with your favorite High Tide Coffee roast.
What to Bring
To keep things simple, just bring:
-
3.5 cups of your choice of flour (in a ziplock bag)
-
A medium-to-large mixing bowl
That’s it. We’ll take care of the rest from the cozy setup to the seasonal vibes.
